Heh. You make it sound so simple

How on Elemental did you figured it out?
 

I will verify if this works with perlevel tag. If not, I will try to use percentage increase in damage, hoping that archers will get even stronger when their weapons will be upgraded.

Mine reason was to add this skill to all default archer units. I have noticed AI builds them but they don't last in combat. Neither they do any damage.
Overall my impression is that skills based on states/level are much better, especially if they are combined with static bonus, like flat +5 defense and +0.5 defense per level.

Still, thank you for your time and answer. May the gods of modding bless you with many children

Btw, I have tried to create a skill for a Commander class that gives resources. While it seems to be working for unrest and gold, materials, grain, foodpergrain and production permaterial, I can't seem to make it right for crystal/metal.

It's a direct copy of Merchant skill, just replaced Gold with Metal.

I probably spent too much time looking at XML files. I worry about brain injury because of it.

They are more fun, but they're also much harder to balance, especially for stats multiplied by TroopCount, such as ATK values.

XML issue, use <StrVal>Metal</StrVal> or <StrVal>RefinedCrystal</StrVal>

Does this increase actually show on unit card when the bow is equipped/removed?
Because I was also trying to do this for hero skill and I can't see the change for Lady Irane

"They're rare for a reason..."

"Non Comparative Conditional" abilities (that's how I call them) were added fairly late in LH life (1.6) and because of that, they're not full-fledged features. Their biggest flaw is they won't show you what they're doing on the stats screen, they will just work (or not if XML error) during combat (where they still won't show on the stats screen). As a result, they haven't been widely adopted by modders. If you want to see the information, you need to use a BattleAutoCastSpell. BattleAutoCastSpell have their own annoyances, but they're fairly flexible, generally more so than Abilities.

I would suggest you download Children of Storm and XtraDeconstruct. Even if you don't want to use them, you will find just about everything you can do in these mods. Just use the search function in Notepad++ app. And just to be clear, there are other mods where you can find good examples, but these two are somewhat big so if something can be done, good chance the subject is covered in either or both.

Finally, don't want to stifle your interest for modding, but it's probably better if I keep discussion in this thread to XtraDeconstruct (and XtraDeconstruct customization/modding). You can always pm me if needed or post your question in LH Modding forum and see if someone answers there.

<IgnoreCastAnim>1</IgnoreCastAnim> should work.

You could just unzip the files in ...\Documents\My Games\LegendaryHeroesXMLexamples\

They wouldn't be loaded with FELH since this isn't the right folder, but you could still search the files with Notepad++

Not to worry, I enjoy helping fellow modders; pm me if needed.

Nothing wrong w/ being passionate w/ something 

You may find this interesting... Brad posted on Steam that there are more FE:LH updates planned. Figured I'd let you know in case it impacts any of your plans with this project.

Here is a link to his post: http://steamcommunity.com/app/496730/discussions/0/1319961868325087126/?ctp=7#c1489987633994704932

Relevant quote: "We have more FE:LH updates planned. There is another SK update in development for this Fall."

Also, wanted to explicitly ask those that haven't done so to endorse / thumbs up the mod (if you like it!) on NexusMods. Once logged into your NexusMods account, you can either do so directly from the mod main page (Green endorse button, top right) or from your mod history page (Thumbs up icon). When the mod falls out of the hot files, as is the case right now, it gets downloaded much less. Thanks!

What an odd timing to retire the Fallen Enchantress. Appears the Humble Bundle activation issues were more successful than Relias. 

They did the same thing to the original Sorcerer King as well. http://steamcommunity.com/app/241990/discussions/0/1473096694456619288/

Without the coincidental timing, of course

Yeah, just not selling it any longer, nor I would imagine releasing any patches. They are still planning to patch the expansion to that game- Sorcerer King; Rivals

It was more of a sidestep from FE. Same universe, still 4x-ish, but assymtrectical in nature. Anything more should probably be taken out of the Xtra thread, don't want to veer to far off topic!

My first game as Carian now. Never had so many Commanders in a game. Defenitly not a very offensive faction. 

Did you know that the unbound familiar cant "go home", and if killed will actually really die?

I also wonder how I should cure all this henchmen injuries.  Life Elixir 2 seems not to work at henchmen. And since it may take a loooong time till I migth find a place to build a shaman hut, I couldnt try out this healing ointment. Probably the cheapest solution since Carian should be able to have a lot of guildar rather then mana. Only other alternative I didnt yet tried, migth be the conclave potion from the alchemist building chain.

Carian has alot of nonsens predefined troops. At least 3 have exact the same layout with club and shield and same traits. But nvm, I design them myself and I doubt that AI could handle this faction anyway.

 I am not sure if this faction is even playable with alot of cities. Seems like I need a commander in every city for every 2-3 new cities.

 Maybe I should build a fortress city with no military buildings on a high food yield and push it up to the obsidian throne.

No, you got me wrong. I wasnt complaining about what heroes I get. As Carian I would take almost always a commander to lower the unrest.

Good to know that outcast heroes have this malus.

Will take a look about the redundant troops if I play next time.

That is nice, like the wider look. Better color/font selection as well, but I think that is secondary to the wider look.

It has been a long time since I last played FE. But now I see that both my favorite mod did get an update and also got news that FE will get official updates soon. It is a good start for the day .
